Baffles Dilemma
Dilemma on which baffles to go for:
- V&H Quiet Baffles
or
- BCT QQ Baffles
I have V&H Big Shot Staggered on my 2014 Softail Slim and decided to go for the "quieter" baffles: hoping to get rid of the "metallic" sound you get and turn to a deeper tone sound.
Loudness: I like the bike reasonably loud and it is my understanding that both will most likely tone it down only a tiny bit.
What would you guys suggest me?

1 step only
At the current stage (no space and tools), I have limited capacity to work on the pipes; unfortunately I cannot go for more complex operations such as cutting the baffles, pierce the pipe and so on.
Have to choose a 1 step approach: simple baffle replacement. I keep reading good stuff about both but I have to say that I see more consistency in reading positive reviews for the V&N.
Some people complain about the sound and vibration that the BST give in deceleration.

The BCT QQ baffles get you the deepest tone, closest thing to CFR slip ons. They sound great and no vibration. Easy to install, remove mufflers and baffles from mufflers. The BCT baffles are 3" long and slide in head pipes you drill a hole for screw in bottom of pipe and install mufflers.

Ok. And to mount them on my Big Shot Staggered, I will replace the stock V&H ones by removing these and mount the BST QQ in the same position using the existing hole and screw. Correct?
Thank you for the advices!

After quite some research, as well as advices and opinions from this forum, I ordered the BCT QQ thunder monster baffles for my BSS.
I will let you guys know once I will have mounted them!
